There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local privilege escalation in Windows Active Directory across a broad range of Windows client and server releases (Windows 10 1607 through Windows 11 26H1, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025) allows an authenticated local attacker to elevate privileges by triggering an integer overflow (CWE-190). Successful exploitation yields high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, effectively enabling escalation to SYSTEM-level control on the affected host. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; Microsoft has issued a patch via MSRC.

Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows Media (a component shipping in Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1) lets an authenticated local attacker execute code at elevated privilege by triggering a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption condition. Reported by Microsoft with a vendor patch available, it carries CVSS 7.8 (High) and can yield full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the host. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Local privilege escalation in the Windows Media component of Windows 11 (versions 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1) allows an already-authenticated local attacker to win a race condition and gain SYSTEM-level privileges. Rated CVSS 7.8 (High), the flaw stems from improper synchronization of a shared resource; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. Microsoft has released a patch via the MSRC update guide.

Local privilege escalation in Microsoft's Windows USB Print Driver stems from a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory corruption flaw affecting Windows 11 (24H2, 25H2, 26H1) and Windows Server 2025. A low-privileged authenticated attacker who can execute code on the host and win a memory-timing race can corrupt kernel memory to gain higher (SYSTEM-level) privileges. Microsoft has released a patch; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, so exploitation is not currently observed in the wild.

Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows Kernel lets an authenticated attacker gain elevated (SYSTEM-level) privileges by triggering a NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) in kernel-mode code. The flaw affects a broad range of client and server builds from Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2012 through Windows 11 26H1 and Windows Server 2025. Reported by Microsoft with a patch available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Local privilege escalation in Microsoft Windows NTFS (New Technology File System) driver lets an already-authenticated low-privileged user corrupt kernel memory via a use-after-free (CWE-416) and elevate to SYSTEM. The flaw affects a broad Windows client and server matrix (Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1, Windows Server 2019/2022/2025). It has no public exploit identified at time of analysis and is not on CISA KEV, but as a Microsoft-reported, patched NTFS kernel bug it is a routine patch-priority item on standard Patch Tuesday cycles.

Local privilege escalation in the Microsoft Windows Kernel lets an already-authenticated attacker read memory outside allocated bounds (CWE-125) and leverage it to elevate to SYSTEM across a broad range of client and server builds (Windows 10 1809 through Windows 11 26H1, Windows Server 2019 through 2025).

There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not on CISA KEV; EPSS was not provided.

Privilege escalation via heap-based buffer overflow in the Windows NTFS filesystem driver affects a broad range of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server versions, requiring only physical access to the target device - no OS credentials needed. An attacker with hands-on access to the hardware can trigger a heap overflow in NTFS processing to gain elevated privileges, potentially achieving full system compromise (High C/I/A). No public exploit code has been identified and this CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the combination of zero authentication requirements and critical-level impact makes it a realistic threat for physically accessible endpoints. A vendor-supplied patch is available via the Microsoft Security Response Center.

Elevation of privilege in the Windows NTFS file-system driver lets an already-authenticated local user escalate to SYSTEM by winning a race condition (CWE-362) in the way NTFS handles a shared resource without proper synchronization.
